Application filed November 29, 19t-5.

To all whom it may Concern lie it known that l, ki'rernrn'ilr. Donne, acitizen of the United States., and residing' St. Louis, in 'the State ofMissouri, have invented a certain new end useful llinprovenient inllegeeldetting li/leohines,y ot which the following' is ,a'speoilicetionf 'his invention relates to edge Settersq such es are employed forseti'zing` and hurnishing the edges of shoe soles,ai1d is especiallyadaptable for repair Work. Ylhe operation of such devices, as nonr onthe market, involves equipping the machines with a comperatively largenumber of interchangeable setter heads or tools in order to properlyineet the exigencies arising 'iroin the vary ing thicknesses eti thesoles to he operated upon and which renge anywhere from an eighth tothreeuuerters of an inch in thickness. Such. en equipment is not onlyexpensive, but in prectiee, results in considerable loss oi timeincident 'to interchanging the setter heads for the soles of differentthicknesses. Furthermore, e highly unsatisfac- `1 tory eonditionencountered,- under the prior method, was the Vimpiiietieahility ofaccuretely litting the setting head or tool to the sole heing operetedupon, with the resultant liability of rounding the sole edge while undertreatment., n

The present inyentionhas among its ohjectsy thereliney to provide forthe replace nient oi? die group el" interchangeable setter heads asheretofore enngloyed7 hy a single comparatively simple inexpensive heador tool which may he readily adjusted to soles oi'i rent thiclmesses endwhich, when so adiueteda' will accurately tit the particular sole endeieetually prevent rounding of the sole edge Further objects of theinvention are to provide for readily and securely locking the parts orthe heed or tool in its Various adjuste/d positions., sind to so securethe tool upon its operating she'lt that it may he reedrily removed,atwiil, for cleaning or'other purposes. f

heads must he heated in order that they may properly hurnish the soleedges.,

These e simplest method of accomplishing this is to employ a 'frictionelement to he h i eid in eonteel. with .the head, ,it heffingSpecification of Letters raient.

heated when in motion. Non' when these setter heads are employed iorrepair work, they are usually mounted upon 'a power driven shafttogether 'with a number ol other tools or devices comprised in a re.-pair outfit. and as the one shaft opeates all of the units of theoutlit, it follows that the setter head is actually used during` only apart of the time that it is being driven hy the shaft, andcoliseo,uently. a continuous heating of the head, whenever it is ininotion, is unnecessary and results merely in n needless waste of energyand a useless destructive Wearing of the parts.

Further objects oll the invention, therefore, areto provide 'for readilyand effectu-4 ally heating; the setting" head only7 when needful toelleet hurnishingr and when in aetunl operation upon the shoe sole, andto bring the heating element into play siniultaneonsly with the setting;of the heed for ously ln the arcoinlmnji'ing dra wings, Figure lY lis aside elevation oi a sole edge setter einhodying; the invention showingthe same mounted 'for use; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section takenlongitudinally through the device on the line Q-l of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is adetail sectional view taken on the line 3*-3 ol' Fig. l; and l*1 #l is adetail View in elevation oi' the heed showing; the seine adjusted foroperation on a thin sole.

lated, as above explained, for adjusting the head to the tlnclrness oiEthe sole, and for `throwingv the friction disk 2l into action it may besecurely locked in place by giving the handle l2 a slight turn to theright, whereby the parts remain secured in proper position while thesole setting operation progresses, and the operator is given free use ofboth hands in handlingr the work. During the above :uljustment of theparte, the spring.,r 21 willbe compressed more or less betweenfthe headsections 13 and 1l and will, therefore, when' the sleeve 9 is released,at the completion of the settingl operation, automatically return theseveral parts to their normal positions.

lt may be mentioned that While the Sole edge is being acted upon, theroughened or ribbed surface 19 of the head serves to rapidly cut or ruboli the `naja raised in thel ope 'ation of trimming the sole edge and,therefore, eiectsa rapid smoothing and polishing oi the sole edge, Whileat the same time the flange 18 and edge 22 act respectively for slightlylieveling and polishing the upper and lower vlaces ci the sole at itsedges.
